Tremendously respected throughout the industry, this charismatic creative has established a brand that is a true reflection of its mandate; innovation and perfection in all areas of hairdressing.

Over his career, Michael has honed his skills to become an expert in cutting with both classic and creative techniques, cultivating an extensive knowledge base in understanding all cutting methods and terminology.

Delivering inspiring and customized in-salon education to motivate and empower every individual and ensure each team member’s needs are met and exceeded – both professional and personally – has been a driving force for this dynamic individual.

Recognising that each student absorbs information differently, Michael educates in a relaxed, yet creative environment, via three main cognitive learning styles: visual, auditory and kinesthetic. This approach ensures his delivery is understood by all students and contributes to encouraging his own team and students to look beyond what is in front of them, daring them to imaging what could be.
